Cuba United States betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

United States was never a really strong team, but they evolved a lot in the past few years, managing to play balanced matches with the best teams from South America. Cuba improved very little, but they are still a low quality team, unable to perform against medium teams. So this should be an easy match for USA, as they are huge favorites, despite playing away from home.
